West Antarctica’s history of rapid melting foretells sudden shifts in continent’s ‘catastrophic’ geology A picture of what West Antarctica looked like when its ice sheet melted in the past can offer insight into the continent’s future as the climate warms.

'... That shift can cause earthquakes, especially in West Antarctica ... The release of pressure on the land also increases volcanic activity – as is happening in Iceland in the present day.'

Antarctica completely collapsed 9,000 years ago under similar climate conditions as Earth has today 9,000 years ago, ocean heat caused rapid ice collapse in East Antarctica, raising concerns about future sea levels.

Memo: 'The story recorded in those Antarctic sediments shows that once warm water and meltwater collaborate, ice systems can respond in surprisingly abrupt ways.'

Antarctica's Southern Ocean might be gearing up for a thermal 'burp' that could last a century When humans manage to cut enough emissions and eventually reduce global temperatures, new research shows the Southern Ocean could kick warming back into gear.

'According to this modeling [not a sure thing] ... humans figure out a way to reverse climate change, only to see the Southern Ocean essentially restart it. While there would be nothing our descendants could do to stop this'

Melting polar ice supercharges ocean 'stirring', threatening marine climate New high resolution modeling shows polar sea ice loss will sharply intensify ocean stirring, reshaping ecosystems and climate feedbacks.
